Agnes Allan was a teacher, passionate about inclusion, and this bursary scheme exists to offer support to students to participate in the performing or production arts.

The Agnes Allan Bursary provides some support to students who may require financial assistance to take part in a short course in dance, drama, music, production or screen.

James McAvoy Drama Scholarships

Bafta-winning and Golden Globe nominated actor James McAvoy is committed to nurturing the creative potential of young Scots who experience barriers to access and participate in drama at RCS Lifelong Learning.

James is a graduate of the BA Acting programme at RCS and Patron of the Junior Conservatoire of Drama. The Glasgow-born actor has funded the new James McAvoy Drama Scholarships to enable young people to experience the world-class drama training at RCS as he did.

The scholarship aims to support applicants who would otherwise find meeting the cost of tuition fees at RCS a barrier to accessing pre-Higher Education drama training at the Royal Conservatoire.

Entry requirements

It would be useful for students to have completed the Acting for Camera: Introduction course prior to this course, or have equivalent experience.

Preparing for your course

Students should dress in comfortable clothing and be willing to work barefoot if required.

The Conservatoire’s cafe will be open before these classes, though students are encouraged to bring water with them.

We request that no valuable belongings are brought to the classes and mobile phones are switched off except during breaks.
